For example, the Sigma 24mm f/2.8 is a pretty good lens. In another irony, there are some older third party lenses made for EOS (especially by Sigma) whose CPU is incompatible with Canon DSLRs. The fact that most Nikon lenses up to about 1999 had aperture rings is the key to their usability on EOS cameras. However, as a business decision, they probably prefer not to, since it lets them sell more new lenses.

(For this reason, the newer G series Nikon lenses, which don't have an aperture ring, are not a viable option.) In theory there is no reason why Nikon cameras shouldn't offer this option, and I suspect that if Nikon wanted to, they could implement it on the D70 with a firmware change, as Pentax did with the *istD. To stop down to a smaller aperture, you turn the aperture ring on the lens. Put your Digital Rebel in aperture priority mode, and the shutter speed will automatically adjust to get the right exposure.

Not only can they be mounted, but metering works. With an inexpensive adapter (about $25 from various vendors on eBay), any Nikon lens, including pre-AI ones, can be used on a Canon EOS camera. The Nikonian's loss is the Canonite's gain. Excellent quality lenses that originally sold for hundreds of dollars can be had for a fraction of their original price on eBay. The fact that they offer no metering on most newer Nikon cameras, together with the fact that there are so many of them around, has driven down the price of these older Nikon lenses.

These same manual lenses used with these adaptors on Canon EOS cameras provide metering, more function than on most Nikon AF cameras. (The more expensive Nikon D300 and D3x do allow metering with AI lenses.) The newer Nikon D40 and D60 allow you to mount pre-AI lenses, though they offer no metering.Īs Ken Rockwell writes, "Oddly, Nikon manual focus lenses on most Nikon AF cameras are almost useless and provide no metering. The later AI lenses can be mounted on a newer Nikon, but without metering capacity. Prior to about 1978, Nikon lenses did not have AI notches cut into the back of the aperture ring, and these earlier lenses cannot be mounted on some modern Nikons such as the D80 or D70 all. Nikon sometimes likes to boast that it has used the same "F mount" system ever since 1959, but in fact it is only Canon owners who can use the whole line without modification. The most useful of these options is the Nikon mount, since it has the largest quantity and variety of good quality lenses available at reasonable prices.

Recently, adapters have appeared that allow Pentax K lenses to be used on EF-S body EOS cameras (on full frame EOS, there is not enough mirror clearance, so the Pentax aperture lever would have to be removed). This is possible because the Canon EOS mount has a larger opening than these other brands, and the lens-to-sensor distance is shallower.

It is possible with adapters to use Leica reflex, Contax (Carl Zeiss), Pentax screwmount, Olympus OM and Nikon Nikkor lenses on EOS bodies, and these focus to infinity. Based on that, one might think that Canon owners who appreciate the finely crafted manual-focussing metal bodied lenses of yesteryear are out of luck. The Canon EOS lens system began in 1987, which is a pretty short historical period, and none of the earlier Canon lenses can be used on Canon EOS cameras.
